fingers hurt

[Basic Instinct]

So after a few medical issues the last yr, My fingers hurt like heck shooting, Need to find  thicker glove, Anyone know of a good one, for more finger protection, I Like the full palm style glove with deep finger pockets for the feel, But will try whatever to keep me shooting and help my hand..

I like my American leathers BigShot. I have psoriatic arthritis. I went to this glove,from a Damascus and I never get sore fingers the crossover I hear is a good one too.
Black widows super pdq also looks like it would have good protection. Although none of these are full palm they would be good choices.
I don't know what it is but my arthritis has been really bad lately.

X2 on the big shot glove. I had one and they are thick. I just prefer a tab. EW Bateman makes a good thick tab too, if your not stuck on a glove.

I like the American leather gloves as well and used them a lot.

Not sure what type string grip you use?But Its possible a deep hook on the string may help your sore fingers.

I used to shoot more off the finger tips years ago and it eventually led to sore fingers.Tendons ligaments etc.

I have  used a deep hook now for quite awhile and its very strong and my fingers feel a lot better.Way less stress on fingers and hands

I use a double thick Cavalier Elite cordovan tab these days

I will look at the American leather gloves, I do not use a deep hook and know that's part of the problem, but have a heck of a time getting to my anchor point if I do. May need to spend time changing form a bit

E.W. Bateman makes a double cordova glove that ic very protective. I have one and love it.

x3 for American Leathers gloves. I use their Crossover model made from kangaroo leather.

I think the type of leather in the American Leathers glove makes a difference.  When I used to shoot heavy bows, I tried the various types they had at the time, and found that buffalo leather seemed to provide the most finger protection.

I would give a tab a try. I have a Spigarelli and it's great. I use a deep hook. I've always found it interesting to learn that some draw with just the tips of their fingers. I had never had any real instruction when I first started but just gripped the string with a deep hook since it just felt so natural. Lot more control drawing that way, at least for me. Give that a try also.

Deep hook will help...in more ways than one.

What Terry said about deep hook. I use the PDQ from Black Widow and it works great for me.

[goingoldskool]

I have an American Leather full shot, which is a full glove that I absolutely love! !!!!

Good luck, shoot straight and God bless,

Dan a gentleman just listed a new product in the Sponser Classfieds.Its called the Talon.A wrist assisted tab it says.Its an aid for folks that are having issues with finger soreness and arthritis etc.Just thought I would give you a headsup and anyone else who may want to take a look.

[Sam McMichael]

I used to pull a 78# bow using the pads of my fingers rather than a deep hook. It really bothered my fingers, even though I developed some very hard callouses. I finally started using a deeper hook, and as Terry indicated, it helped in more ways than one.

[Hermon]

This may be a dumb request, but could someone post a picture of a "deep hook"?  Just how deep do you go?

[ksbowman]

I go to the first bend/crease in from your finger tips.

[Hermon]

Ben, that is what I do too but didn't know if the was considered as deep.

I have loved the black widow super gloves. Stopped all my finger pain.

Here's something that this guy developed because of arthritis so he could shoot again.
